The class is distinguished from the journey level in <br />one of two ways: <br />- Routine and repetitive duties are performed according to <br />established procedures and changes in procedures or exceptions to <br />rules are explained in detail as they arise. <br />- Use as a training class for flexibly staffed positions. <br />In the latter use, the incumbents of the class would lack a complete <br />knowledge of department procedures and precedents and not yet be able to <br />perform the full range of duties assigned to the journey level without <br />immediate supervision. <br />METER TECHNICIAN - This is the journey level class in the Meter Technician <br />series.

A <br />Meter Technician is distinguished from a Meter Technician Apprentice in <br />that incumbents of positions assigned to the journey level are expected to <br />perform assigned duties with only occasional instruction or assistance, and <br />work is normally reviewed only upon completion. Adequate performance at <br />this level requires the knowledge of general meter maintenance procedures, <br />methods and techniques as well as a knowledge of applicable Department <br />policies and procedures. <br />SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED <br />METER TECHNICIAN APPRENTICE <br />- Receives immediate supervision from the Meter Operations Supervisor. <br />METER TECHNICIAN <br />- Receives general supervision from the Meter Operations Supervisor. <br />- May provide functional and/or technical supervision to lower level <br />technical staff. <br />
